Pauleta: Zlatan deserves PSG goal-scoring record

The former Portugal striker has insisted he is happy that the Swede looks set to become the Parisian's most prolific front man.

Former Portugal striker Pauleta has spoken of his happiness that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to break the Paris-Saint Germain goal-scoring record, praising the Swede as a "great player".

Pauleta's record for the Parisians stands at 109 goals and, with Ibrahimovic on 107 goals ahead of the Ligue 1 clash with Nantes on Saturday, it is a record that appears close to being broken.

But, speaking to Goal, the 35-year-old, who spent five seasons in Paris, insists that he is happy a player of Ibrahimovic's quality is set to break the record.
